95th Giro d’Italia: Riders to Watch

Mark Cavendish (Sky Pro Cycling)

7 / 11

Great Britain’s Mark Cavendish recently took a few weeks off from racing for the birth of his first child; he returned to competition last week at the Tour of Romandie, one of the Giro’s traditional warm-up races. The Manx Missile heads to Italy hoping to regain his winning ways, after teammate Bradley Wiggins garnered much of the attention this spring. With several flat stages in the race’s opening week, the current world road champion should have little problem adding to the seven Giro stage wins on his already impressive résumé.
